MURRIETA, Calif., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ActionView International, Inc. (Pink Sheets: AVEW) has received funding of $51,500 to further support the operations of its wholly owned MatchFights, LLC subsidiary. The funding was received in the form of payment for preferred stock issued as part of the acquisition of MatchFights by the company in August 2009 and will not require the issuance of new ActionView International, Inc. common stock shares.
The funding proceeds will be used by the company to organize the next MatchFights event, market and promote the event to a global audience, and upgrade the company's operations website; http://www.bkbfightclub.com/, which is the main portal for the sale of pay-per-view buys for MatchFights events.
MatchFights delivers an exciting brand of full contact fighting under its newly launched Championship Full Contact banner. MatchFights events are broadcast live in high definition to a worldwide audience over the Internet, and revenue is derived from pay-per-view buys.
"We are well into planning our next MatchFights event," said Gary Nerison, Chairman of ActionView International, Inc. "A venue has been targeted, and we are very close to announcing the location and initiating a comprehensive marketing and promotion program for the next live event. Part of this program will be an upgraded and improved website that will serve as the central point for fight promotion and pay-per-view sales. We are pleased to have the additional resources at our disposal to organize the next event and look forward to delivering the most exciting brand of entertainment to our global audience."
Championship Full Contact departs from traditional MMA in several ways. The rules effectively eliminate the tap-out as a means to end a fight. This keeps Championship Full Contact bouts from devolving into protracted grappling matches and promotes fast and furious action.
Championship Full Contact also provides interactive features as part of its Internet broadcast, which allows fans to vote online for the matchups they want to see and then vote for the winners of fights that go the distance. An interactive online chat feature allows fans to discuss the action during the live event and users can also set up their own chat groups.
The premiere MatchFights event held on September 25, 2009 featured fourteen fighters from broad fight backgrounds, including MMA, Muay Thai, boxing and street fighting, matched up in seven full contact bouts and a ring girl contest. A rebroadcast of the premiere MatchFights event is currently available for free viewing at http://www.bkbfightclub.com/images/video/player.aspx.
